A quick and easy grab-and-go breakfast jar packed with protein, perfect for busy mornings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 cup rolled oats
  • 1 scoop (30g) protein powder (whey or plant-based)
  • 1 tbsp chia seeds
  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy)
  • 1/2 cup Greek yogurt
  • 1 tbsp sweetener (maple syrup or honey, optional)
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. In a jar or container, combine rolled oats, protein powder, and chia seeds.
  2. Pour in milk, Greek yogurt, sweetener (if using), and vanilla extract.
  3. Stir everything together until well combined.
  4. Seal the container and refrigerate overnight, or for at least 4 hours.
  5. In the morning, stir the oats and add a splash more milk if they are too thick.
  6. Enjoy cold. Add your favorite toppings like berries, nuts, or seeds.

Notes

  • For a 40g protein boost, ensure your protein powder scoop is approximately 30g and your Greek yogurt is plain and unsweetened.
  • You can substitute Greek yogurt with an equal amount of cottage cheese for a similar protein content.
  • Experiment with different milk types like almond, soy, or oat milk.
  • Flavor variations: add cocoa powder for chocolate oats, cinnamon and nutmeg for spiced oats, or peanut butter powder for a nutty flavor.
  • These jars are excellent for meal prep. Make a batch at the beginning of the week for quick breakfasts.
